FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This application is directed to inhibitors of RAD51, and methods for their use, such as to treat conditions including cancers, autoimmune diseases, immune deficiencies, and neurodegenerative diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

RAD51 is a eukaryote gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family which assists in repair of DNA double strand breaks. RAD51 family members are homologous to the bacterial RecA, Archaeal RadA and yeast RAD51. The protein is highly conserved in most eukaryotes, from yeast to humans. In humans, RAD51 is a 339-amino acid protein that plays a major role in homologous recombination of DNA during double strand break (DSB) repair. RAD51 catalyzes strand transfer between a broken sequence and its undamaged homologue to allow re-synthesis of the damaged region (see homologous recombination models).

Studies have demonstrated a sensitization to certain DNA damaging therapies associated with cellular defects in proteins that promote HR DNA repair. This sensitization is particularly dramatic for DNA cross-linking chemotherapeutic drugs (30-100 times) and ionizing radiation (3-5 times) (Godthelp et al., “Mammalian Rad51C contributes to DNA cross-link resistance, sister chromatid cohesion and genomic stability,” Nucleic Acids Res., 30:2172-2182, 2002; Tebbs et al., “Correction of chromosomal instability and sensitivity to diverse mutagens by a cloned cDNA of the XRCC3 DNA repair gene,” Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 92:6354-6358, 1995; Takata et al., “Chromosome instability and defective recombinational repair in knockout mutants of the five Rad51 paralogs,” Mol. Cell Biol., 21:2858-2866, 2001; Liu et al., “XRCC2 and XRCC3, new human Rad51-family members, promote chromosome stability and protect against DNA cross-links and other damages,” Mol. Cell, 1:783-793, 1998).

Several groups have recently demonstrated that HR can be partially inhibited in order to sensitize cells to DNA damaging therapies. Inhibition of XRCC3 (a RAD51 paralog protein), has been demonstrated using a synthetic peptide corresponding to another paralog protein. This peptide sensitized Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells to cisplatin and inhibited the formation of sub-nuclear RAD51 foci in response to DNA damage (Connell et al., Cancer Res., 64:3002-3005, 2004). Other researchers have inhibited the expression of the RAD51 protein itself (Russell et al., Cancer Res., 63:7377-7383, 2003; Hansen et al., Int. J. Cancer, 105:472-479, 2003; Ohnishi et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., 245:319-324, 1998; Ito et al., J. Gene Med., 7(8):1044-1052, 2005; Collins et al., Nucleic Acids Res., 29:1534-1538, 2001) or blocked its function by over-expressing a dominant negative BRC peptide fragment derived from BRCA2 (Chen et al., J. Biol. Chem., 274:32931-32935, 1999). In view of the connection between increased sensitivity to certain DNA damaging therapies and cellular defects in HR DNA repair-related proteins, there is a need for additional compounds that inhibit RAD51.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Applicant has now discovered novel compounds which are effective inhibitors of RAD51 (see Examples 1-75). The RAD51 inhibitors of the present invention inhibit homologous recombination by altering the nucleocytoplasmic distribution of RAD51 following DNA damage induction. The RAD51 inhibitors of the present invention reduce the repair of AID-induced DNA double strand breaks, leading to AID-dependent cytotoxicity in both normal and malignant B-lymphocytes. Certain of these RAD51 inhibitors have superior cell permeability as measured in Caco-2 cells (see Example 76). Among the RAD51 inhibitors with good cell permeability, several have superior metabolic stability (as measured by a liver microsome assay, see Example 77) and exposure, including oral exposure (see Example 79).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a pharmaceutical salt that is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, and is commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically-acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al. describes pharmacologically acceptable salts in J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19.

Included in the present teachings are pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds disclosed herein. Compounds having basic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acid(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds described herein include salts of inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic, phosphoric, metaphosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) and of organic acids (such as acetic acid, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, ethanesulfonic, methanesulfonic, succinic, and trifluoroacetic acid acids). Compounds of the present teachings with acidic groups such as carboxylic acids can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable base(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium salts).

If a group is described as being “substituted,” a non-hydrogen substituent replaces a hydrogen on a carbon or nitrogen of the substituent. Thus, for example, a substituted alkyl is an alkyl wherein at least one non-hydrogen substituent is in the place of a hydrogen substituent on the alkyl substituent. To illustrate, monofluoroalkyl is alkyl substituted with a fluoro substituent, and difluoroalkyl is alkyl substituted with two fluoro substituents. It should be recognized that if there is more than one substitution on a substituent, each non-hydrogen substituent can be identical or different (unless otherwise stated). As used herein, many moieties (e.g., alkyl, cycloalkyl, or a heterocyclic ring) are referred to as being either “substituted” or “optionally substituted”. When a moiety is modified by one of these terms, unless otherwise noted, it denotes that any portion of the moiety that is known to one skilled in the art as being available for substitution can be substituted, which includes one or more substituents. If more than one substituent is present, then each substituent is independently selected. Such means for substitution are well-known in the art and/or taught by the instant disclosure. The optional substituents can be any substituents that are suitable to attach to the moiety. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the compounds and definitions provided do not include impermissible substituent patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 different groups, and the like). Such impermissible substitution patterns are clearly recognized by a person of ordinary skill in the art. When a group is described as being optionally substituted by “one or more” substituents, it denotes that the group is optionally substituted by one, two, three, four, five or six substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by 1-3 substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by 1-2 substituents. In one embodiment, a group is optionally substituted by one substituent.

Suitable substituents are those which do not have a significant adverse effect on the ability of the compound to inhibit RAD51. Where suitable substituents are not specifically enumerated, exemplary substituents include, but are not limited to, halo, —CN, alkyl, alkoxy, halomethyl, halomethoxy, (C₁-C₅)alkyl, halo(C₁-C₅)alkyl, (C₁-C₅)alkoxy, —NO₂, —OR^(c), —NR^(a′)R^(b′), —S(O)_(i)R^(a′), —NR^(a)S(O)_(i)R^(b′), —S(O)_(i)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —C(═O)OR^(a′), —OC(═O)OR^(a′), —C(═S)OR^(a′), —O(C═S)R^(a′),

—C(═O)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)C(═O)R^(b′), —C(═S)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)C(═S)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)(C═O)OR^(b′), —O(C═O)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)(C═S)OR^(b′), —O(C═S)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)(C═O)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —NR^(a′)(C═S)NR^(a′)R^(b′), —C(═S)R^(a′), —C(═O)R^(a′), (C₃-C₆)cycloalkyl, monocyclic heteroaryl and phenyl, wherein the (C₃-C₆)cycloalkyl, monocyclic heteroaryl and phenyl substituents are optionally and independently substituted with —CH₃, halomethyl, halo, methoxy or halomethoxy. Each R^(a′) and each R^(b′) are independently selected from —H and (C₁-C₅)alkyl, wherein the (C₁-C₅)alkyl group represented by R^(a′) or R^(b′) is optionally substituted with hydroxyl or (C₁-C₃)alkoxy; R^(c) is —H, halo(C₁-C₅)alkyl or (C₁-C₅)alkyl, wherein the (C₁-C₅)alkyl group represented by R^(c) is optionally substituted with hydroxyl or (C₁-C₃)alkoxy; and i is 0, 1, or 2. ═O is also a suitable substituent for alkyl, cycloalkyl, and a heterocyclic ring.

Compounds having one or more chiral centers can exist in various stereoisomeric forms. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement. Stereoisomers include all diastereomeric, enantiomeric, and epimeric forms as well as racemates and mixtures thereof.

The term “geometric isomer” refers to cyclic compounds having at least two substituents, wherein the two substituents are both on the same side of the ring (cis) or wherein the substituents are each on opposite sides of the ring (trans). When a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure without indicating stereochemistry, it is understood that the name or the structure encompasses one or more of the possible stereoisomers, or geometric isomers, or a mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers or geometric isomers.

When a geometric isomer is depicted by name or structure, it is to be understood that the named or depicted isomer exists to a greater degree than another isomer, that is that the geometric isomeric purity of the named or depicted geometric isomer is greater than 50%, such as at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% pure by weight. Geometric isomeric purity is determined by dividing the weight of the named or depicted geometric isomer in the mixture by the total weight of all of the geometric isomers in the mixture.

Racemic mixture means 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of is corresponding enantiomer. When a compound with one chiral center is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral center, it is understood that the name or structure encompasses both possible enantiomeric forms (e.g., both enantiomerically-pure, enantiomerically-enriched or racemic) of the compound. When a compound with two or more chiral centers is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral centers, it is understood that the name or structure encompasses all possible diastereomeric forms (e.g., diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched and equimolar mixtures of one or more diastereomers (e.g., racemic mixtures) of the compound.

Enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures can be resolved into their component enantiomers or stereoisomers by well-known methods, such as chiral-phase gas chromatography, chiral-phase high performance liquid chromatography, crystallizing the compound as a chiral salt complex, or crystallizing the compound in a chiral solvent. Enantiomers and diastereomers also can be obtained from diastereomerically- or enantiomerically-pure intermediates, reagents, and catalysts by well-known asymmetric synthetic methods.

When a compound is designated by a name or structure that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as “enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.

When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers is included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.

Methods of Treatment

The present invention provides a method of treating a subject with a disease which can be ameliorated by inhibition of RAD51, by administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more disclosed compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the corresponding pharmaceutical composition. Diseases which can be ameliorated by inhibition of RAD51 include treating cancer, autoimmune disease, immune deficiency, or neurodegenerative disease.

In one aspect, described herein is a method of treating cancer, autoimmune disease, immune deficiency, or neurodegenerative disease, the method comprising administering a therapeutically effective dose of a composition as described herein, e.g., a composition comprising a compound of the present invention, to a subject in need of treatment for cancer, autoimmune disease, immune deficiency, or neurodegenerative disease.

In some embodiments, the subject can be a subject determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in one or more cell types relative to a reference level. As used herein, “DNA damage” refers to breaks, nicks, and mutations of the DNA present in a cell. In some embodiments, the DNA damage can comprise one or more of single-strand breaks (e.g., “nicks”), double strand breaks (DSBs), and mutations. In some embodiments, the DNA damage can be one or more DSBs. As used herein, “mutation” refers to a change or difference in the genetic material of a cell as compared to a reference wildtype cell, e.g. a deletion, an insertion, a SNP, a gene rearrangement, and/or the introduction of an exogenous gene or sequence.

In some embodiments, the subject can be determined to have an increased level of DNA damage if the subject is determined to have an increased level and/or activity of a DNA damage process or DNA editing enzyme. As used herein, “DNA damage process” refers to any activity or process in a cell which causes one or more types of DNA damage to occur.

In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of mutations, e.g., by determining the overall mutation status in all or a portion of the genome of a cell. An overall mutation status at least 2% greater, e.g. 2% greater or more, 3% greater or more, 5% greater or more, 10% greater or more, or 20% greater or more than the overall mutation status in a reference cell can be indicative of an increased, elevated, and/or significant level of a DNA editing enzyme activity. In some embodiments, the level of hyper mutations can be determined. In some embodiments, the overall mutation status in the whole genome or a portion thereof can be determined using FISH, whole genome sequencing, high throughput sequencing, exome sequencing, hybridization, and/or PCR. In some embodiments the activity of a DNA editing enzyme can be measured by determining the level of hypermutations in the specific target genes including, but not limited to IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCL1 1A, CD93, PIMI and/or PAX5. In certain embodiments the DNA editing enzyme is AID. In some embodiments, a level of mutation in specific target genes including IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCL1 1A, CD93, PIMI and/or PAX5 which is at least 2% greater, e.g. 2% greater or more, 3% greater or more, 5% greater or more, 10% greater or more, or 20% greater or more than the level of mutation in IGH, BCL6, MYC, BCL1 1A, CD93, PIMI and/or PAX5 in a reference cell can be indicative of an increased, elevated, and/or significant level of AID activity.

In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of double strand breaks (DSBs). The level of DSBs can be determined, by way of non-limiting example, by karyotyping, by γ-H2AX foci formation, and/or by using FISH analysis to detect DNA double strand breaks, e.g. DNA breakage detection fish (DBD-FISH) (Volpi and Bridger, BioTechniques, Vol. 45, No. 4, October 2008, pp. 385-409).

In some embodiments, an increased level of DNA damage can be an increased level of single strand breaks. The level of single-strand breaks in DNA can be determined, by way of non-limiting example, by COMET assays, FISH, or the use of single-strand break-specific probes. Detection of DNA breaks, both single and double-stranded is known in the art and described further, at, e.g., Kumari et al. EXCLI Journal 2009 7:44-62 and Motalleb et al. Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology. 2012 4: 1888-1894; each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

In some embodiments, an increased level of activity of a DNA damage process can comprise an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme. In some embodiments, the technology described herein is directed to treating cells having an active DNA editing enzyme with a compound of the present invention. In some embodiments, the technology described herein is directed to treating cells having an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme with a compound of the present invention. As used herein, “DNA editing enzyme” refers to an enzyme which normally catalyzes the mutation, exchange or excision of DNA segments, particularly enzymes which can generate or promote the generation of point mutations, DNA single strand breaks, DNA double-strand breaks or protein-DNA adducts. A DNA editing enzyme, as referred to herein, is not necessarily site-specific in its action. Similarly, it is not necessarily cell specific. In some embodiments, the cell is a B cell expressing a detectable amount of such an enzyme.

Non-limiting examples of DNA editing enzymes include, but are not limited to Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG1; NCBI Gene ID: 5896), Recombination Activating Gene 1 (RAG2; NCBI Gene ID: 5897), Sporulation-specific protein 11 (SPOl1; NCBI Gene ID: 23626), APOBEC family members a Type 1 Topoisomerase; a Type 2 Topoisomerase; and/or AID. In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be AID.

In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a member of the APOBEC (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like) family. As used herein “APOBEC family” refers to a family of cytidine deaminase enzymes having an N-terminal zinc-dependent cytidine deaminase catalytic domain comprising and a C-terminal pseudocatalytic domain. Non-limiting examples of APOBEC family members include AID, APOBEC 1 (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 339), APOBEC2 (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 10930), APOBEC3A (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 200315), APOBEC3C (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 27350), APOBEC3E (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 140564), APOBEC3F (e.g., NCBI Gene ID:200316), APOBEC3G (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 60489), APOBEC3H (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 164668), and APOBEC4(e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 403314).

In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a Type 1 topoisomerase. In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be a Type 2 topoisomerase. Topoisomerases generate breaks in DNA to help uncoil or relax the strand. Type II topoisomerases hydrolyze ATP to generate DSB cuts, while Type I topoisomerases generate single-stranded breaks. Non-limiting examples of Type II topoisomerases can include topoisomerase II (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 7153 and 7155). Non-limiting examples of Type I topoisomerases can include topoisomerase I (e.g., NCBI Gene ID: 7150).

Embodiments of the technology described herein are based on the discovery that the compounds described herein can inhibit DNA repair mechanisms, e.g., homologous repair.

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID, or AICDA, also known as ARP2, CDA2 or HIGM2), a DNA-editing enzyme that is a member of the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzymes, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC), will cause widespread genomic breaks and cell death in cells with diminished homologous recombination ability (e.g. cells with diminished DNA double strand break repair abilities). Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising detecting increased expression of a DNA-editing enzyme (e.g. AID) in a cell and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present invention; thereby resulting in cell death. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising increasing expression of a DNA-editing enzyme (e.g. AID) in a cell and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present invention; thereby resulting in cell death. Accordingly, provided herein is a method of causing cell death comprising administering to a cell a therapeutically effective amount of a DNA editing enzyme (e.g. AID) and thereafter contacting the cell with a compound of the present invention; thereby resulting in cell death.

AID, encoded by the AICDA gene (NCBI Gene ID: 57379), is required for proper B-cell function and is most prominently expressed in centroblast B-cells. The protein is involved in somatic hypermutation, gene conversion, and class-switch recombination of immunoglobulin genes. AID is normally expressed almost exclusively in antigen-activated germinal center B-cells, where it initiates immunoglobulin isotype class switching (Manis et al. 2002, Trends Immunol, 23, 31-39; Chaudhuri and Alt, Nat Rev Immunol, 2004, 4, 541-552; Longerich et al., Curr Opin Immunol, 2006, 18, 164-174; Chaudhuri et al., Adv Immunol 2007, 94, 157-214). AID is required for somatic hypermutation and immunoglobulin class switching in activated B cells. AID expression is regulated by CD40 ligand, B-cell receptor, IL4R, or Toll-like receptor stimulation (Crouch et al., J Exp Med 2007 204: 1145-1156; Muramatsu et al., J Biol Chem 1999 274: 18470-6). After activation, AID is transiently upregulated, induces point mutations or DNA double strand breaks in a sequence nonspecific manner within immunoglobulin genes, and is then downregulated (Longerich et al., Curr Opin Immunol, 2006, 18, 164-176; Chaudhuri et al., Adv Immunol 2007, 94, 157-214). Overall, AID is active in only a tiny population of normal cells (antigen-activated B-cells) at any given time. The genomic rearrangements and mutations controlled by AID lead to the development of antigen-recognition diversity, receptor editing and lymphoid effector function required for functional adaptive immunity (Mills, et al. Immunol Rev 2003 194:77-95). Recently it has been reported that AID has off-target point mutation activities (Liu, M. et al., Nature 2008, 451, 841-845; Liu and Schatz, Trends Immunol. 2009, 30, 173-181; Perez-Duran et al., Carcinogenesis. 2007, 28(12):2427-33). Robbiani et al. has reported off-target activities of AID in B-cells, especially c-myc/IgH translocations (Robbiani et al., Mol Cell 2009, 36(4):631-41). AID expression accelerates the rate of tumor development in Bcl6 transgenic mice (Pasqualucci et al., 2008, Nat. Genet. 40, 108-112). However, deregulated AID does not necessarily cause malignancy or translocation-associated cancer on its own in B cells (Muto et al., 2006, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103, 2752-2757; Okazaki et al., 2003, J. Exp. Med. 197, 1173-1181; Shen et al., 2008, Mol. Immunol. 45, 1883-1892). In addition, despite its obligate role in c-myc/IgH translocation, AID is not required for the development of plasmacytosis or plasmacytoma in IL-6 transgenic or pristane-treated mice, respectively (Kovalchuk et al., 2007, J. Exp. Med. 204, 2989-3001; Ramiro et al., 2004, J. Exp. Med. 200, 1103-1110). However, most human B cell lymphoma-associated translocations do not involve c-myc, and many do not involve Ig genes (Kuppers, 2005, Oncogene 20, 5580-5594).

Overexpression of AID has been reported in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (Hancer et al. Leuk Lymphoma. 2011 January; 52(1):79-84; Heintel et al., Leukemia. 2004 April; 18(4):756-62). Further, AID expression has been shown to be correlated with blast crisis B lineage leukemia and therapy resistance in myeloid leukemia and to be associated with generally poor prognosis in chronic B lymphocytic leukemia (Mao et al., Br J Dermatol 2001, 145: 117-122; Chaudhuri et al., Nature 2004, 430:992-8). Further expression of AID in tumor cells from a variety of cancers has been reported including but not limited to lung, breast, gastric, colon, intestinal, liver cancer and choriangiocarcinoma (Greeve et al., Blood 2003, 1010, 3574-3580; Feldhahn et al., J Exp Med 2007, 204, 1157-1166; Kotani et al., PNAS USA 2007, 104, 1616-1620; Engels et al., 2008, Appl Immunohistochem Mol Morphol 16, 521-529; Klemm et al., 2009, Cancer Cell 6, 232-245; Palacios et al., 2010, Blood 115(22), 4488-4496; Leuenberger et al., 2009, Mod Pathol 32, 177-186; Gruber et al., 2010, Cancer Res 70, 7411-7420; inflammatory cancer (Marusawa 2008, Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 40, 399-402); follicular lymphoma (Hardianti et al., 2004, Leukemia 18, 826-831; Shikata et al., 2012, Cancer Sci. 103(3):415-21); thyroid cancer (Qiu et al. 2012, Mod Pathol 25(1), 36-45); breast cancer (Borchert et al. 2011, BMC Cancer 11:347); Marusawa, et al., 2011, Adv Immunol 111: 109-41; Zhang et al. 2012, Hum Pathol 43(3):423-34; Komori et al., 2008, Hepatology 47(3):888-896; Hockley 2010, Leukemia 24(5): 1084-6; adult T-cell leukemia (Nakamura et al., 2011, Br J Dermatol. 165(2):437-9). All of the references in the foregoing paragraph are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.

Elevated levels of AID have been reported in arthritis (Xu et al. Scand. J. Immunol. 2009, 296, 2033-6) and in the MRL/Fas(lpr/lpr) mouse lupus model (White et al. 2011, Autoimmunity 44(8), 585-98). All of the references in the foregoing paragraph are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.

When DSB repair is inhibited, the extent of the DSBs generated by AID is much higher than previously suspected and the extent of genomic damage is so severe as to result in cell death. Accordingly, in one embodiment of the technology described herein, there is provided a method of treatment comprising; (a) selecting a subject having cells that express elevated levels of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID); and (b) administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of double strand break repair (e.g. a compound of the present invention) to the subject; wherein an elevated level of AID is a level of AID that is higher than the level of AID in cells of the same type from a healthy individual. In some embodiments, the cells expressing elevated levels of AID are B cells. In some embodiments, the B cell expressing elevated levels of AID is a cancerous B cells or a B cell associated with autoimmune disease. In some embodiments, the subject can be a human subject.

Methods provided herein treat cancers and/or autoimmune disorders by inhibiting DNA double strand break repair. This inhibition proves lethal to cells expressing AID, as AID generates widespread genomic breaks, and the treatment with a double strand break repair inhibitor prevents the repair of these lesions which are being generated by the cell itself. This results in cell death in the subject which is specific to the cells expressing AID, e.g. cancerous B cells and/or autoimmune cells. Accordingly, as described herein, in one embodiment there is a provided a treatment paradigm that selectively induces self-destruction of certain diseased cells, while reducing the unintended side effects in healthy tissues.

In some embodiments, an increased level and/or activity of a DNA editing enzyme can be an increased level of DNA editing enzyme mRNA. mRNA levels can be assessed using, e.g., biochemical and molecular biology techniques such as Northern blotting or other hybridization assays, nuclease protection assay, reverse transcription (quantitative RT-PCR) techniques, RNA-Seq, high throughput sequencing and the like. Such assays are well known to those in the art. In one embodiment, nuclear “run-on” (or “run-off) transcription assays are used (see e.g. Methods in Molecular Biology, Volume: 49, Sep. 27, 1995, Page Range: 229-238). Arrays can also be used; arrays, and methods of analyzing mRNA using such arrays have been described previously, e.g. in EP0834575, EP0834576, WO96/31622, U.S. Pat. No. 5,837,832 or WO98/30883. WO97/10365 provides methods for monitoring of expression levels of a multiplicity of genes using high density oligonucleotide arrays.

In some embodiments, a subject can be determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in one or more cell types relative to a reference level if the subject has been exposed to an agent that is known to cause such DNA damage. Non-limiting examples of such agents can include a viral infection with a DNA integrating virus (e.g. adeno-associated virus, retrovirus, human T-lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, oncovirus, hepatitis virus, hepatitis B virus); DNA damaging chemicals (e.g. acetaldehyde, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzenes, nitrosamines, tobacco smoke, aflatoxin, and the like); DNA damaging chemotherapeutic agents (e.g. bleomycin, mitomycin, nitrogen mustards (e.g. mechlorethamine, cyclophosphamide, melphalan, chlorambucil, ifosfamide and busulfan), nitrosoureas (e.g., N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU), carmustine (BCNU), lomustine (CCNU) and semustine (MeCCNU), fotemustine and streptozotocin), tetrazines (e.g., dacarbazine, mitozolomide and temozolomide),aziridines (e.g., thiotepa, mytomycin and diaziquone (AZQ)), cisplatins (e.g., cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin) procarbazine and hexamethylmelamine); and ionizing or ultraviolet radiation. Exposure to such agents can be the result of an accident, infection and/or environmental exposure or the result of a therapeutic administration of such agents.

In some embodiments, the increased level of DNA damage can be occurring in a cell type affected by the cancer, autoimmune disease, and/or neurodegenerative disease. In some embodiments, the subject is determined to have an increased level of DNA damage occurring in a cell selected from the group consisting of: a cancer cell; an immune system cell; or a nervous system cell.

In some embodiments, the DNA editing enzyme can be AID. In some embodiments, the level of AID can be the level of AID in a blood cell. In some embodiments, the level of AID can be the level of AID in a B cell.

In some embodiments, an increased level of AID can be a detectable level of AID, e.g., as described below herein.

In some embodiments, the subject can be a human subject.

Methods provided herein treat cancers and/or autoimmune disorders by inhibiting DNA double strand break repair. This inhibition proves lethal to cells expressing AID, as AID generates widespread genomic breaks, and the treatment with a double strand break repair inhibitor prevents the repair of these lesions which are being generated by the cell itself. This results in cell death in the subject which is specific to the cells expressing AID, e.g. cancerous B cells and/or autoimmune cells. Accordingly, as described herein, in one embodiment there is a provided a treatment paradigm that selectively induces self-destruction of certain diseased cells, while reducing the unintended side effects in healthy tissues.

Methods of defecting cancers in patients with increased levels of DNA damage or increased levels of DNA editing enzymes are disclosed in WO2016/094897, incorporated herein by reference.

In certain embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a type with high expression of a DNA editing enzyme. In certain embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a B-cell neoplasm.

Another embodiment is a method of treating a cancer by administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more disclosed compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the corresponding pharmaceutical composition. In one aspect, the cancer is selected from the group consisting of lymphoma, leukemia, and a plasma cell neoplasm. In another aspect, the cancer selected from the group consisting of carcinoma and sarcoma.

In certain embodiments, the cancer to be treated is a lymphoma. Lymphomas which can be treated by the disclosed methods include Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; Burkitt's lymphoma; small lymphocytic lymphoma; lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma; MALT lymphoma; follicular lymphoma; diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; and T-cell lymphoma.

Lymphoma is a malignancy in the lymphatic cells of the immune system (e.g. B cells, T cells, or natural killer (NK) cells). Lymphomas often originate in the lymph nodes and present as solid tumors. They can metastasize to other organs such as the brain, bone, or skin. Extranodal sites are often located in the abdomen. Lymphomas are closely related to the lymphoid leukemia and in some cases a particular form of cancer is categorized as both a lymphoma and a leukemia.

Leukemias which can be treated by the disclosed methods include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); Burkitt's leukemia; B-cell leukemia; B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL); acute myelogenous leukemia (AML); chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML); and T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).

In certain embodiments the cancer to be treated is B-cell neoplasms, B-cell leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, Burkitt's leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia and/or T-ALL. The maturation of B cells most typically ceases or substantially decreases when the foreign antigen has been neutralized. Occasionally, however, proliferation of a particular B cell will continue unabated; such proliferation can result in a cancer referred to as “B-cell lymphoma” or a “B-cell leukemia.” In certain embodiments the cancer to be treated is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).

In certain embodiments the cancer to be treated is a plasma cell neoplasm. Examples for plasma cell neoplasms include multiple myeloma; plasma cell myeloma; plasma cell leukemia and plasmacytoma.

In another embodiment for the disclosed method, the cancer is characterized by mutations in the mutS homologues (e.g., MSH2, MSH3, and MSH6), mutL homologues (e.g. MLH1), or mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2. Mutations are changes in the genetic code. They include point mutations and frameshift mutations. In a point mutation, one nucleotide is swapped out for another. Therefore, the mutation occurs at a single point or location within the DNA strand. Frameshift mutations are due to either insertions or deletions of nucleotides. This causes the entire DNA strand to elongate or to shrink in size. Thus, frameshift mutations may alter all of the codons that occur after the deletion or insertion. The mutations referred to herein include, but are not limited to, insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, or other recognized point mutations. It has now been found that RAD51 inhibitors are particularly effective in treating cancers with mutations in MSH (e.g. MSH6), MLH, or PMS2.

MutS Homolog 2 (MSH2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH2 gene, which is located on chromosome 2. MSH2 is a tumor suppressor gene and more specifically a caretaker gene that codes for a DNA mismatch repair (MMR) protein, MSH2, which forms a heterodimer with MSH6 to make the human MutSα mismatch repair complex. It also dimerizes with MSH3 to form the MutSβ DNA repair complex. MSH2 is involved in many different forms of DNA repair, including transcription-coupled repair, homologous recombination, and base excision repair. Examples of the mutations in MSH2 include, but are not limited to, g.47630253_47630254del, g.47702411_47702421del, g.47709913_47709915inv, g.47635629_47635634del, g.47637227_47637236dup,

MutS Homolog 3 (MSH3) is a human homologue of the bacterial mismatch repair protein MutS that participates in the mismatch repair (MMR) system. MSH3 typically forms the heterodimer MutS(3 with MSH2 in order to correct long insertion/deletion loops and base-base mispairs in microsatellites during DNA synthesis. Deficient capacity for MMR is found in approximately 15% of colorectal cancers, and somatic mutations in the MSH3 gene can be found in nearly 50% of MMR-deficient colorectal cancers. Examples of the mutations in MSH3 include, but are not limited to, g.79970809del.

MSH6 encodes MutS homologue 6 (MSH6), a member of the Mutator S (MutS) family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR). The MSH6 protein forms a heterodimer with MutS homologue 2 (MSH2) in both human and yeast. Human MSH2/6 recognizes single base-base mismatches and short insertion/deletion loops. Upon recognition of a mismatch, MSH2/6 complex binds and exchanges ADP for ATP, resulting in a conformational change to the complex that precedes base pair dissolution, base excision, and repair.

MSH6 mutations include frameshift and/or nonsense mutations and can result in non-functional MSH6 and loss of protein expression. Examples include a frameshift mutation at MSH6 amino acid residue 290 and a compounding missense T1189I.

Inactivating MSH6 mutations can be detected in cancers by routine diagnostics methods. These methods include, but are not limited to, obtaining cancer cells and other diagnostic indicators such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), PBMC subpopulations, circulating blasts (CD34+ cells), circulating tumor cells and circulating exosomescancer cells by biopsy and blood tests and by obtaining lymphatic or other bodily fluids. It is then determined from the cancer cells or other diagnostic indicators whether the cancer exhibits an inactivating MSH6 mutation is by methodology known in the art, for example, direct DNA sequencing and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), microarray, quantitative PCR, or NanoString™ gene expression panels, or MSH6 protein by immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry or Western blot. Methods for identifying inactivating MSH6 mutations are disclosed in Houlleberghs H, Goverde A, Lusseveld J, Dekker M, Bruno M J, et al.

Human PMS2 related genes are located at bands 7p12, 7p13, 7q11, and 7q22. Exons 1 through 5 of these homologues share high degree of identity to human PMS2. The product of this gene is involved in DNA mismatch repair. The protein forms a heterodimer with MLH1 and this complex interacts with MSH2 bound to mismatched bases. Defects in this gene are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, with Turcot syndrome, and are a cause of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors.

The present invention provides a method of treating patients with Lynch syndrome to reduce the likelihood of from developing or treating cancers derived from Lynch syndrome, by administering to the subject an effective amount of one or more disclosed compounds, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or the corresponding pharmaceutical composition.

Lynch syndrome is a hereditary disorder caused by a mutation in a mismatch repair gene in which affected individuals have a higher than normal chance of developing colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and various other types of aggressive cancers, often at a young age—also called hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC).

The mutations of specific mismatch repair (MMR) genes including but not limited to MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM-TACSTD1 deletions are responsible for Lynch syndrome. These genes work in repairing mistakes made when DNA is copied in preparation for cell division. The defects in the genes disallow repair of DNA mistakes and as cells divide, errors stack and uncontrollable cell growth may result in cancer.

Those with Lynch syndrome carry up to an 85% risk of contracting colon cancer as well as a higher than average risk for endometrial cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney/ureter tract cancer, hepatobiliary tract cancer, gastric tract cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, gallbladder duct cancer, brain cancer, small intestine cancer, breast cancer, and skin cancer.

Methods of Administration and Dosage Forms

The precise amount of compound administered to provide an “effective amount” to the subject will depend on the mode of administration, the type, and severity of the disease, and on the characteristics of the subject, such as general health, age, sex, body weight, and tolerance to drugs. The skilled artisan will be able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other factors. When administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, e.g., when administered in combination with an anti-cancer agent, an “effective amount” of any additional therapeutic agent(s) will depend on the type of drug used. Suitable dosages are known for approved therapeutic agents and can be adjusted by the skilled artisan according to the condition of the subject, the type of condition(s) being treated and the amount of a compound of the invention being used by following, for example, dosages reported in the literature and recommended in the Physician's Desk Reference (57th ed., 2003).

The term “effective amount” means an amount when administered to the subject which results in beneficial or desired results, including clinical results, e.g., inhibits, suppresses or reduces the symptoms of the condition being treated in the subject as compared to a control. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can be given in unit dosage form (e.g., 0.1 mg to about 50 g per day, alternatively from 1 mg to about 5 grams per day).

The terms “administer”, “administering”, “administration”, and the like, as used herein, refer to methods that may be used to enable delivery of compositions to the desired site of biological action. These methods include, but are not limited to, intraarticular (in the joints), intravenous, intramuscular, intratumoral, intradermal, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, orally, topically, intrathecally, inhalationally, transdermally, rectally, and the like. Administration techniques that can be employed with the agents and methods described herein are found in e.g., Goodman and Gilman, The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, current ed.; Pergamon; and Remington's, Pharmaceutical Sciences (current edition), Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.

In addition, the disclosed RAD51 inhibitors can be co-administered with other therapeutic agents. As used herein, the terms “co-administration”, “administered in combination with”, and their grammatical equivalents, are meant to encompass administration of two or more therapeutic agents to a single subject, and are intended to include treatment regimens in which the agents are administered by the same or different route of administration or at the same or different times. In some embodiments the one or more compounds described herein will be co-administered with other agents. These terms encompass administration of two or more agents to the subject so that both agents and/or their metabolites are present in the subject at the same time. They include simultaneous administration in separate compositions, administration at different times in separate compositions, and/or administration in a composition in which both agents are present. Thus, in some embodiments, the compounds described herein and the other agent(s) are administered in a single composition. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein and the other agent(s) are admixed in the composition.

The particular mode of administration and the dosage regimen will be selected by the attending clinician, taking into account the particulars of the case (e.g., the subject, the disease, the disease state involved, the particular treatment). Treatment can involve daily or multi-daily or less than daily (such as weekly or monthly etc.) doses over a period of a few days to months, or even years. However, a person of ordinary skill in the art would immediately recognize appropriate and/or equivalent doses looking at dosages of approved compositions for treating a a RAD51 mediated disease using the disclosed RAD51 inhibitors for guidance.

The compounds or the corresponding pharmaceutical compositions taught herein can be administered to a patient in a variety of forms depending on the selected route of administration, as will be understood by those skilled in the art.

Example 75 Compound Primary Screening 1. Background

Primary screening was a phenotypic screen that utilized the synthetic lethal interaction between AID and RAD51 to identify compounds that were both potent and on target. AID expressing cells are dependent upon RAD51 for survival; inhibiting RAD51 in AID positive cells results in a cytotoxic effect. Based on such an effect, compounds that were potent in AID positive cells and were significantly less potent in AID negative cells were identified.

2. Materials and Supplies

Plastic ware and consumables needed for this experiment include: Cell Culture media; Evaporation Buffer media; 100% DMSO; 96 well U-bottom sterile culture plates; 250 mL bottle; 1.5 mL Opaque amber epi tubes; Epi Tube rack; 300 mL reservoirs; 25 mL reservoir; 25 mL serological pipette tips; 5 mL serological pipette tips P1000 Pipette Tips; and P200 Pipette Tips.

Equipment needed for this experiment include: Viaflo 384 liquid handler; Eppendorf serological pipette; Eppendorf P1000 Pipette; and Eppendorf P200 Pipette

Daudi Cell Culture and WI-38 Cell Cultures were also needed for this experiment.

Lastly, compounds (e.g., the compounds of this invention) to be tested are needed.

3. Procedure

All steps were performed in a sterile environment inside the Biosafety cabinet.

The first step was to set up a cell killing assay in the Daudi cell line (AID positive). A 96 well u-bottom plate was prepared by writing the experiment number, plate number, date and initials in the top right corner of the plate lid. With a sterile 300 ml reservoir, and 25 ml serological pipette, evaporation buffer media was pipetted into reservoir in 25 ml increments.

Using the liquid handler, 150 ul of evaporation buffer media was pipetted from reservoir into rows A and H, and Columns 1 and 12 of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Cell cultures were counted to obtain the density of cells per ml, and the culture viability. The cell density information was used to obtain 1,000,000 cells from culture using a 5 mL serological pipette into an epi tube. The cell density information from the culture was used to calculate the number of cells and volume of media needed for the assay to seed 1250 cells in 130 ul of media per available culture well in the 96 well u-bottom plate. Rows B through F were used for cells (50 wells in total), with row G left for an empty media control. The calculation was overestimated by 10 mL to account for the dead volume in the 300 ml reservoir. Once the media volume was calculated, the appropriate volume of media was pipetted in 25 mL increments into the 250 mL bottle using a 25 mL serological pipette. The 250 ml bottle was capped tightly, and placed into a 37° C. water bath for 2 minutes. While the culture media was warming, 10 mL of fresh media was pipetted from the 500 mL culture media bottle into a sterile 25 mL reservoir. Using the Eppendorf multichannel pipette, 130 ul of media was piptted from the 25 mL reservoir into row G of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Once the 250 mL bottle of media was warmed, the volume of culture needed was pipetted into the bottle, and mixed gently with a 25 mL serological pipette as to not create bubbles, and then the contents of the bottle were pipetted into a new 300 mL reservoir. Using the liquid handler, 130 ul of culture was pipetted from the 300 mL reservoir into rows B through F of the 96 well u-bottom plate. Once the culture was added, the plate was placed into a 37° C. incubator until the compound master plate was prepared for use.

Two 96 well u-bottom plates were prepared by writing the master plate name in the upper right corner of the plate lid. Labeling one DMSO master and the other Media Master. The compounds of interest were obtained from the laboratory freezer, and placed into a 25 well storage box with a lid, and set the box aside. The compounds were vortexed after thawing but before use. Using an automatic multichannel pipette, 20 ul of 100% DMSO was pipetted into wells B3-B11 through G3-G11 of the DMSO master plate. For each compound on the master plate, 50 ul of the compound were pipetted in the appropriate well of row 2 (reference plate map to determine appropriate well). A serial dilution was prepared beginning by aspirating 20 ul from row 2 and mixing with row 3, repeating until row 11 was reached. Using the liquid handler, 194 ul of Daudi media was dispensed into wells B2-B11 through G2-G11 of the Media master plate. Using the liquid handler, 6 ul from the DMSO master plate was aspirated and dispensed into the media master plate, mixing 100 ul twice.

Compounds from master plate were then added to the culture plate. The culture plates were removed from the incubator, and set inside the biosafety cabinet. Using a liquid handler, 20 ul from wells B2 to B11 through G2 to G11 of master plate were aspirated, and dispensed into wells B2 to B11 through G2 to G11 of culture plate. This set was continued with each culture plate. Once the culture plates acquired their 20 ul of compound dilutions, they were placed back into the incubator, until their reads on Day 7 of experiment. Cell death was measured on Day 7 of the experiment using Cell-Titer Glo and a Promega Plate reader.

Percent cell death and EC₅₀ values were calculated by comparing the cell viability of the compound treated wells to the non-treated wells. Normalized RLU values were obtained by subtracting the media well values from each of the wells in the same column, and then dividing that value by the DMSO treated cells values. The percent kill was then calculated by subtracting the normalized RLU value from 1 and multiplying by 100. The average normalized percent kill value and standard error of the mean was then calculated. The kill values were then inputted into Prism with the corresponding standard errors. In Prism a non-linear regression line was plotted with the data points using a semi-log scale, and the EC₅₀ value was calculated. For compounds that showed good potency in the Daudi cell line, the assay was repeated using WI-38 cells (AID negative).
